Interestingly this seems to fix the graphic mess bug as well, but the lag is still there in full screen mode...

i wonder why some users dont have that problem....but i assume it is about certain graphic cards or drivers.

well maybe the new drivers from nvidia will solve the problem for me.

ok this might be pointing out the obvious - but i just discovered that when i set my screen resolution to 800x600 in windows vista i will have a big window when i start winspmbt or winspwwII....

so now i can play in windowed mode but still have "fullscreen"

simple solution but now i can play as before, without lag and without the fear of eye-cancer due to the small window...

The other obvious solution is to buy the CD version and then you'll have all the higher screen resolutions

sorry for going off topic

but as a former player of the original steel panthers i was happy to find this highly improved follow up.

thank you for giving us fans the chance to play this free version!

(i know buying the CD would be a better way to thank you...but anyway..

Hi

Just wondering if any progress has been made with the sluggish problem when running Winspmbt or Winspww2 in Vista. I have tried everything from drivers to running in different resolutions in both windowed and full screen modes, but the games are unplayable for me. There is a 25second delay between the mouse click and the command being activated. I dont have any graphics problems though. It has got to the stage were I have gone back to playing SPWAW to get my wargaming fix, this seems to run fine in Vista.

I am running Vista home premium (64bit) with a Geforce 8800 GTX

Both WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT are running fine for me in Windowed Mode running Vista Home Premium well but with a Geforce 7600 card.

Well what do you know... a cure to my woes... I normally dont mess with in-game preferences but just on the the off-chance I turned of the sound, and to my suprise the game runs smoothly, quietly but smoothly. I can put up with the quiet :-)

There are a couple of threads on both the ww2 and mbt forum where Vista is discussed and you may find a solution there. It's interesting though that turning the sound off solved your "slugishness" problem . I do not recal anyone having a problem with any kind of "slugishness" in Windowed mode, only full screen

Yeh, its wierd because I can still play the battle FX but as soon as I turn on the sound FX everything slows down. I can play it in full screen mode with sound off but occasionly there will still be a slight slow down in response not as pronounced as when the sound is on, but still noticeable. In windowed mode with sound off it run like a dream.
